Msigeplugin61 a virus?
« on: December 30, 2011, 09:23:00 PM »
I have been getting a message when running my Avast version 6.0.1367 that the msigeplugin61 (a Google Earth plugin) is a virus. I searched the Internet and can only find one site that says it is a a virus. Anyone here know anything about msigeplugin61?    ???

Hi Pondus,

It is a heuristical find, threatexpert has it analyzed here: http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=6ac57f91cde996aacf73f959cb82fc8a
because the plug-in uses Background Intelligent Transfer Service as common with MS update, and other software updates. BITS has been around since XP SP2 came with this support tool,
